R & I Instrument and Gear Company have received (and tested) their latest piece of machinery, a 3D printer that will hasten the design and testing process. The uPrint SE Plus has a printing or build size of 203 x 203 x 152 mm (8 x 8 x 6 in.) and uses fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology to build models in thermoplastic. The 3D Printer will streamline the research and development process with the capability to print straight from a CAD drawing.
